1. A system measuring skeletal joint motion in a subject comprising:
- a) a motion device means adapted and configured to continuously move a joint of the subject, the motion device means comprising;
a platform base means, anda motion platform means further comprising a static platform means connected to an upper surface of the platform base means, a movable platform means connected to at least one of the static platform means or an upper surface of the platform base means, wherein the static platform means is adjacent the movable platform means wherein movement of the movable platform means is achieved in operation by a motor in communication with the moveable platform means;
b) an imaging device in communication with the motion device means adapted and configured to obtain imaging data; and
c) a computing system adapted and configured to analyze the obtained imaging data to generate an instruction and then communicate the instruction to at least one of the motion device means and the imaging device wherein the computing system is configurable toreceive information from at least one of the motion device means and the imaging device during an imaging session;
analyze the received information during the imaging session;
determine whether a target anatomy is within a field of view during the imaging session;
evaluate a position of the imaging device, a position of the motion device means, a radiographic imaging technique, and a geometric configuration of a collimator;
determine whether a change to one or more of a position of the imaging device, a position of the motion device means, a radiographic imaging technique, and a geometric configuration of a collimator will bring the target anatomy within the field of view; and
instruct at least one of the motion device means and imaging device to change an imaging environment automatically and continuously during the imaging session to maintain the target anatomy within a field of view by one or more of changing the position of the imaging device, changing the position of the motion device means, changing the radiographic imaging technique, and changing the geometric configuration of the collimator.

Abstract
An integrated imaging system is invented for creating an optimal imaging session by importing information in real time from several sources and using that information to automatically and continuously adjust the parameters of the imaging session so as to create the optimal session for the prescribed testing session
